Tsailand Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 2 hours ago, PortisBetts said: Does Smith retire at his age with an injury like this? Retiring immediately would mean giving back $21.6M in signing bonus, missing out on $15M of fully guaranteed 2019 salary, and missing $16M of semi-guaranteed 2020 salary. Total $52,600,000 Or he can rehab on our dime. What would you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that injury and it hurts like a ****. It isnt that bad when your sitting still. But as soon as you move at all it is excruciating. And you can feel the bone fragments clicking inside your leg. It really is a nasty thing to have to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Sad to see the discussion ended this way. He was playing well today too even if his receivers kept dropping the ball on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I hear we are bringing in Buttfumble Sanchez, EJ Manuel, and Yates to tryout as backup QBs behind McCoy. I'm going to say this, I'd rather have Kaepernick than see any of them in burgundy and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If Smith is hurt to the point he can never play again. And refuses to retire. We should start him and run 5 wide with directions to the online to lay down every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was benched well before that because he isn't good. He played the college RO offense well, but then the league caught up and shut that down. The one trick pony was done at that point. He was benched for Gabbert for the love of Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Certainly not a Smith fan thus far into his Redskins career, but I will say he is a class act. A good dude. And this sucks. Covering the game for ES, I was in the end zone they were driving towards and saw him go down. Couldn't see much else with everyone in the way, but I heard an engine fire up from behind me under the bleachers and figured that was the cart on the way out to get him. But what struck me the most is how the players reacted. The way the Skins looked on the sidelines, the way they knelt. And then the way JJ Watt and the Texans came to offer condolences to him after he got on the cart, you can just tell that everyone respects him and likes him and that counts for a lot. I don't really know what else to say other than this is really sad. Guy was winning games and definitely has his teammates respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Theismann said it's exactly the same injury as his. My question to the medical experts is, has anything in the medical field changed whether players can recover from broken legs better than Theismann did ? Alex Smith just tweeted he expects to be back in time for the season opener next year, but that could be just optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that quite yet. A guy a few hours after surgery is in no state of mind never mind taken the time to contemplate what is going on and what to expect. Plus, I don't buy it any way. He has a lot of rehabbing to do. This wasn't a typical break, so it is very doubtful he'll be ready this time next year, never mind in time to start the season. On top of that, I don't think he uses Twitter. EDIT - I should have read below this post. I see I had good reason to not buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I apologize, guys, sincerely. If I had have known it would have caused serious confusion, I wouldn't have posted it.

That being said he’s going to try to come back and he’s still going to **** up our salary cap for two years as a result. Thanks Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 2019 salary is guaranteed because the contract Bruce signed says it's guaranteed. The contract also says his 2020 salary becomes guaranteed in March (that is, before anything happens in 2019)..
